Traps to burn in ⚠️
🍞 عيش = bread · 🧍 أَعيش = I live
YOUR #1 TRAP — in a café order عيش, never أعيش!
فين where · فيه there is · في in
عَرَبية car · عَرَبي Arabic | بيض eggs · البيضاء the white one
جَزْمة shoes (not أحذية) · بقعد I sit (not بجالس) · دِلْوَقتي = one word
مَفيش = one word · مِش = no ي · use the أ‑form after عايز/لازم/ممكن
"I don't like" → native مَبحِبّش (ma‑…‑sh) — coming in Phase 3 · use Arabic ك/ي not Persian ک/ی
